Yup you read that right, DONT powerwash bugs off your stock chrome grill, because if you happen to have just one teeny tiny stone chip it will bubble about a 2" circle of the chrome. I wanted to swap out for one of those white fx4 grills anyway.

So, now I know what happened to my original grille. Same thing happened to me 2 months after I got my truck. The dealer said it was a manufacturer defect, said that there was a TSB about it, a certain batch of grilles weren't properly cured, and they replaced it under warranty. The new one has held up for 14 months and at least a dozen power washes.

Do you happen to know the TSB about this? I have the same issue, and I have been fighting with ford about it for nearly 8 months. My truck is out of the 36k mile warranty but still under the 100k mile warranty. I did not buy an expensive truck to have the grill crack and bubble like this. It has been bubbled now for over a year.
